I remember the whispers and plans for most of these (excluding the two Miller jobs)...I would probably have picked up 7 of them at the time, probably would only be getting the Miller runs and Byrne's Galactus stories as an adult with a retroactive appreciation for the work....

I'm not huge of fan of Rick Leonardi's work, but still wanted to see Rachel's limited series (heck, Iceman got his own, for cripe's sake!). Oh well. And another Excalibur GN? Any details on that? Was it set during the series run?

Miller DID indeed produce a LITTLE more Doctor Strange related material in that timeframe - most of it probably as the reason WHY he was tapped to (or intended to) draw Doc's book soon thereafter.

He drew the awesome SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL # 14 - 1980 - (Doc and Spidey team-up against Dr. Doom - and Dormammu - who were teaming up as well). Written by Miller and Denny O'Neil, it's a fantastic piece of DOC goodness.

Also from 1980 Miller drew the beautiful back cover of that year's Marvel Calendar - which can be seen at the following link:
